Understanding Nylon Moisture Absorption
Nylon resins absorb moisture from the air. The properties of nylon moldings are directly affected by the amount of moisture they contain. Moisture acts as a plasticizer in nylon and therefore reduces strength and stiffness properties but increases elongation and toughness. In general, as moisture content rises, significant increases occur in impact strength and other energy absorbing characteristics of the material...
